If it can be done with 2 billion, then there will be a difference of 8 billion.

Is Gao Yi the one who is short of the 8 billion?
Of course, Gao Yi really is short of these 8 billion. If he can get these 8 billion, he won’t have to worry in this life, the next life, or even the next ten lives.

But the problem is that Gao Yi is not doing the middleman business now, what he is doing is saving his elder brother from dire straits.

If you make a profit from the price difference at this time, you are taking advantage of the situation.

Therefore, Gao Yi did not make a penny. He saved 8 billion for Shaman, which made Shaman spend 8 billion less. At this critical moment, Shaman could have used the precious cash for other places.

Asking Panetta to find someone to lobby is only the first and most basic step. The real money to buy his life is at the national level. However, 8 billion is not a small amount in any case. Maybe this amount of money can help Shaman get out of trouble completely.

With this mentality, Gao Yi felt much more at ease when he called Shaman again, because he got a very clear response from Panetta and the matter was settled.

After hanging up the phone with Panetta, Gao Yi was about to call Shaman back, and Green and Marina in front of him seemed even more of a nuisance at this moment.

But there is no way, we can't chase them away.

From a sentimental point of view, these two are now Gao Yi's own people, and there should always be basic trust and respect among people of the same family, so they cannot be driven away.

But logically, these two are from MI6 and the French Directorate-General for External Security. To these agents, favors and friendship are of no use. If they were to brazenly tell them that the person on the American side is Panetta, wouldn't that be selling out Panetta?

So just now when Shaman asked if he could reveal his identity, Gao Yi said no, because he was guarding against Green and Marina, not Shaman.

But Gao Yi couldn't tell Shamanming. He couldn't say that there were two other people around me, one from MI6 and the other from the French Directorate General for External Security, so I couldn't say that it was Panetta on the American side.

Of course, even if Sharman and Panetta had known each other for a long time and Gao Yi had already introduced the two to each other, when it came to such a big thing, Panetta would have to be crazy to contact Sharman directly.

Why in some transactions, even though the buyer and seller have known each other for a long time, they still have to pay a considerable commission to the original middleman and continue to trade through the middleman?

That’s because buyers and sellers cannot trade directly. Only through a middleman can a certain degree of security be guaranteed, and only such middlemen can last long.

Panetta, there is no nonsense in his words.

Or maybe there is something else hidden in his seemingly ordinary words.

This time, Panetta came up and told Gao Yi, "I knew you had to call me, but I didn't expect it to be so late. If you don't call me, I will have to go to a meeting."

Just from this sentence, Panetta's superficial meaning is already very clear. He is waiting for Gao Yi's call, and has been waiting for a long time. If Gao Yi doesn't contact him, he will go to the meeting.

The surface meaning is very clear, and the implied meaning is equally obvious. He must have known that Gao Yi would call, which means that Gao Yi must do this matter. This is to show Gao Yi that no one can take away his identity as the middleman. I didn't expect it to be so late. You are too slow. What's going on with you on Shaman's side? This meeting is a general term, meaning that he will not care if it is too late.

Gao Yi didn’t think about it at first, so he replied, “Do you know why I called you?”

Panetta said that given your relationship with Sharman, I would feel strange not making this call.

At this point, Gao Yi finally understood that Panetta would not have any direct contact with Shaman. Since the two of them were not in contact, Shaman could only contact Panetta through Gao Yi.

That's why Gao Yi said he just got the news.

And Panetta would say that your news is really slow.

In fact, there was no nonsense at all. It was just that Panetta was used to expressing all the information in one sentence with two meanings, while Gao Yi was not used to it yet, so he just said one level.

So it was not until Gao Yi decided to be honest and told Panetta the truth, saying that he called Panetta as soon as he found out about it and had not had time to contact Shaman. Also, he said that Shaman was not the kind of ignorant and stingy person, and asked if he could tell him what had happened. Only then did Panetta immediately tell the truth in a straightforward manner.

Then Panetta gave a hint that was not really a hint, which was that the White House had not yet made a final decision and there was still room for improvement.

Panetta would never say this directly to Sharman, and Panetta would not even answer Sharman's calls.

The reason is very simple. If Panetta had contacted Shaman directly, he would have been a complete traitor. It would have been good if the matter was finally resolved safely. As long as the White House finally decided to deal with Shaman, then Panetta, who had contacted Shaman directly, would basically be finished.

But it’s different when contacting Gao Yi.

First of all, Gao Yi has no identity and no national background.

Even if it is finally discovered that Panetta and Gao Yi have close ties, so what? Isn't it normal that the actual head of an intelligence agency has ties with an internationally renowned intelligence broker?

If Panetta could purchase metallic hydrogen through Gao Yi, then was there anything abnormal about him purchasing intelligence about Shaman through Gao Yi?

So, the wonderful thing about Gao Yi's identity is that he poses no threat to any country now. His only clear position is that he has no position. In this way, it is normal for him to deal with anyone.

The most important thing is that Panetta trusts Gao Yi. Given the degree to which his interests are tied to Gao Yi's, even if the lobbying for Shaman fails in the end, he does not have to worry about being held accountable by Gao Yi. First of all, his safety is guaranteed to the greatest extent.

For Shaman, his own channels were useless. The White House would not answer his calls, so of course he could only rely on Gao Yi. Speaking of this, I have to elaborate on why the communication channels between the two countries were cut off, but Gao Yi, a temporary broker who was not even a third party, was able to speak. The reason was very simple. Because time was tight and Shaman's matter was serious, the United States might want to take the opportunity to get rid of Shaman, so many people were unwilling to express their opinions in a hurry and did not dare to accept Shaman's money.

Anything that goes through formal channels is bound to be cumbersome. Maybe it will be better after a few days, but what we need now is to race against time. There is no time to waste.

It's not that Shaman can't do it himself, but that he can't do it smoothly. Although Gao Yi's approach is based on personal relationships and private transactions, everyone knows that private transactions are the most efficient, so Shaman gave Gao Yi the authorization of 10 billion US dollars without hesitation.

Just like that, with all the factors added up, Gao Yi became the chosen one, and there was no other choice but him.

Now comes the fun part.

Gao Yi made this call in front of Green and Marina and got this done. Didn't it seem that Sharman's chances of getting away safely increased? Didn't it make them feel that the United States is likely to support Sharman instead of taking advantage of his misfortune and killing him?

Since the United States is very likely to support Sharman, what about Britain and France?
Even if we cannot get the two permanent members to publicly express their support for Saudi Arabia, we can at least let them remain silent for the time being. At least we can let these two countries see the direction of the wind clearly before making a choice.

Don't underestimate this difference. As the saying goes, "rumors can melt metal." Sometimes, once international public opinion is formed, although it does not play a decisive role, it can still influence the attitude of major countries that make decisions.

The decisive factor lies with the United States, and Britain and France can only play supporting roles. However, if the five permanent members do not speak, then Constantine alone can only dream of overthrowing the Shah.

Gao Yi called Shaman again.

The call was connected immediately.

Gao Yi said without hesitation: "A total of 2 billion. The first 1.2 billion will be transferred to me immediately. They will start lobbying immediately and give a deadline. Within three days, the White House must make a statement! The balance of 800 million will be paid after the White House makes a statement. This is all the money. There are no other fees."

A conscientious middleman, increasing the quantity without increasing the price.

Gao Yi looked at Green and Marina, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'll try the UK and France too. I can't guarantee anything, but I can only try."

Green spread his hands, and Marina smiled, but her smile was a little helpless.

Shaman breathed a sigh of relief.

I can’t say that the huge rock in my heart has completely fallen to the ground, but at least it has fallen halfway.

Shaman whispered, "I said 10 billion, it means 10 billion, you can use it as you like."

Gao Yi now has hundreds of millions but he doesn't know how to spend them. If he really gets billions of benefits, what can he do? He will just sleep on the money.

Gao Yi wants to be the Saudi national teacher, not an invisible rich man in the underground world who has money but nowhere to spend it.

"You need money for so many things right now, big brother, don't talk about this, just do the work first, give me the money right away, I'm in a hurry to pay it over, oh, the British and French sides are another matter, the specific amount will be determined after we get the news."

"it is good!"

Shaman didn't say a word of unnecessary nonsense. He immediately said, "The money has been transferred. Let your financial director take a look. Brother... I'll wait for your news."

The phone hangs up.

Gao Yi didn't pause. He rushed out, opened the door, and shouted, "Luca!"

Luca walked quickly into the room.

Gao Yi closed the door and whispered to Luca, "Has the money arrived?"

"It's arrived. 1.2 billion US dollars. The source of the funds is obvious and easy to track. Now we have too much money. The account is really not enough..."

"Don't worry about it this time. Just transfer 1.2 billion to them first."

Luca whispered, “Over there?”

Talk about things instead of people; this is the most basic principle for a middleman. However, Gao Yi’s network of relationships is quite large now, so if he only talks about one side, who knows which side it is.

Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "CIA."

"OK, got it."

Although the money only passed through his hands once, Luca, the financial director, was still very happy. So he just reminded Gao Yi that the security account was not enough, but he did not complain about the insufficient account.

Luca went to make the transfer, while Gao Yi said to Green and Marina, "You two... now let's talk about Shaman?"
